We arrived on time but misjudged the sunrise over the water.

Anticipation.

The key to doing anything outside in the Summer is to start before sunrise.

Avoiding the sun’s peak hours becomes a non-negotiable as you age.

Australia’s Glass Mountains
First clear morning in a week. Photo from parking garage top floor, across the street from our apartment.
Conservation Park sign
Later start at trail head, 1005am. Plenty of tree cover though.

Travel is a teacher. Get your money’s worth.

Early morning trailhead start.
28-million years ago seems like a blink of an eye compared to four-billion years ago.
Wonder how many plants on our trail are 30-million years worth of ancient plant DNA?

Mistakes are a gateway to new knowledge. Always go through the gates.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Few consistently invest.

You’re given the ‘cash’, the mistake, why would anyone throw their money away?

Australia Day 12, mind

Grateful Dead
Wrote the quote below first. The photo(above) randomly appeared a day later. How cool is that?!
Warning sign
Two different locals have shared versions of a story that revolves around an American Military base in our vicinity. Both stories spoke of the area being bombed. One as a practice area. Another as an attempt by the Japanese to hit a nearby airbase.

i’m the Grateful Dead of Disney Keynote Speakers.

The Grateful Dead weren’t played on the radio.

Yet they had arguably the greatest music fans, ever, known as Dead Heads.

They didn’t need nor seek popularity with the masses.

They played music because they loved playing music.

Their fans came to their concerts because they loved seeing people who loved playing their “unpopular” music.

Enjoy your journey. Only you can take it.

dad

A blinding flash of the obvious…

You’re in charge of your journey.

The controllable parts.

The unforeseen, uncontrollable parts.

Everything.

Common sense, not common practice.
